Port Credit PARKS:Memorial Park East

Outdoor Skating in
Memorial Park

Starting in Winter 2009, an annual outdoor skating rink
is provided at
Port Credit Memorial Park
(map) in the area west of the Arena parking lot,
north of the playground, south of the skateboard park. This
family-oriented rink is installed and ready for operation
(depending on the weather) by January each year.

The rectangular rink is approximately 64 feet wide
X 80 feet long.

Volunteers are needed to help with the
maintenance of this natural rink. A heated hut, supplies (e.g.
shovels) and access to water will be provided. Call the Parks and
Recreation Dept. at (905) 615-3200 ext. 3780 to
register for this exciting project that will benefit our whole
community. We've asked for this rink -- let's help make it great!

Volunteers Nick Marcinkiewicz, Steven Jenkinson and Ric
Cooper did a great job to get the rink going in 2009, and reported: "It
may be a bit bumpy but we're trying !!" During the January/February
cold spell, it was a wonderful sight to see people out skating.
Thanks guys!

December 2010:
The outdoor rink is available again this winter,
thanks to the community's faithful volunteers. The painted
rink hut was done by local high school students, aided by Port
Credit artist
Anna Claudette Ferguson (Facebook).
